I have been posting to this blog for over 14 years, each year reporting on accomplishments over the prior year and goals for the new year.

In 2025 and beyond, this Blog will be my main photography communication vehicle. Content will be varied and in the spirit of my approach to photography as described on the "About" page of my website at www.jeffmarcowitz.photography 

The Project W pages on the website will be a curated collection of work representing the “Best Of” images posted here on the Blog. With a subscription, you'll continue to receive an email (with content) whenever I post to the Project W Blog.

Thanks to all of you who have followed this photo blog for many years and welcome to any newcomers. My hope is that the images and stories are interesting and thought-provoking as I continue this creative journey. As always, comments, critiques and suggestions (here and the website) are welcome and appreciated as they often lead to new ideas and inspiration.

Thank You.
Jeff

Experiments with some f4.0 shooting between 28-70mm while considering a new 20mm-70mm lens.  Didn't learn too much from this shot, but liked it anyway.

2022_CLondon52w17: Compositional Guidelines

From the C.London website: "There are many compositional guidelines that photographers use to highlight different aspects of their images. Like color theory, in years passed, we dedicated multiple weeks to individual guidelines, but this year I want to give you a little more freedom. Start with this blog post about compositional guidelines and choose one which you'd like to try out for this week. Bonus points to anyone who also incorporates a specific color scheme."

Foreground framing and rule of thirds are the two guidelines I tried to incorporate into this image.

There are often interesting scenes occurring at the gas pumps, especially these days of high fuel prices. I pulled up and immediately noticed one guy on the phone not pumping gas and another guy looking angry as he watched the total climb. Using my dashboard/hood as foreground, I positioned the camera to capture these expressions in the middle third of the frame. Cropped to 16:9 to reinforce the horizontal nature of the scene. Processed in b/w as color distracted from the story.
